What Is Going on With This Wax Statue of Zac Efron?

We need to talk about it.

Let me tell you why I love Zac Efron so much. It starts with his amazing dance and vocal skills and continues with his 36-pack abs. Listen, I don’t care what you think, 17 Again is a fabulous film and don’t even get me STARTED on High School Reunion. I've heard Neighbors (parts 1 and 2) was funny, but I wouldn't know. (I basically turned my television on mute, and just watched his face. No need for sound. Just your face, Zac. Just your face.)

So, You’d think Z-Efron fans like myself would be itching to get a peek at his wax figure, which debuted today at Madame Tussauds in Berlin. Making it to Madame Tussauds is equivalent to EGAT’ing, if you ask me, but I was excited to be able to stare that chiseled jawline and those piercing blue eyes without Zac Efron the human getting creeped out.

But then…

Kudos to the team for getting his eyes correctly shaped, but let’s talk about a few things that went wrong here.

What’s with the mustache? When was the last time he had a mustache? Who is this weird, mustachioed imposter?

Now let’s talk about that setting. While we applaud the nod to Efron’s love of sports... WHY IS HE IN A WETSUIT? Literally, what is the point of a wax statue of Zac Efron in a full body unitard? Shorts and sandals? No shirt? Anything? Bueller?

Also: Who. Are. These. Girls?

Joelina Drews, who is a 21-year-old singer/songwriter (we looked her up because we’re jealous) attended the opening with about 514 of her friends. Ok, maybe just nine other girls who she may or may not know. But either way, 10 girls surrounding my main man is far too many. So that is wrong, as well. Just so much wrong.
